I love the reader Karen White and I found this great mystery looking for her current read. I like a variety of Romance and Mystery. This book was a mystery first and had romance woven all through the book. This is NOT F.S.O.G type romance. Romance is subtle between H & H. The hero's siblings could have spin off stories the author could write as independents books, the tie being the family unit.

What other book might you compare Cover Your Eyes to and why?

Clever outline from the author and reader made the whole story a non-stop listen.I am a core romance listener and have been adding lots of mysteries to my library. Sandra Browns books are closest to this type of mystery, see Mean Streak.

Which character – as performed by Karen White – was your favorite?

All of the characters were given such life by Ms White voice. I love her male voices the best and when there is sarcasm from them, it is the best. See Julie James author for the best reads from K.W. Author Jill Shelves/ K.W. reads are very good as well.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

YES, I did! I Iost some sleep over this good listen. Yes, I did figure out some of the clues, but hey isn't that what I am suppose to do? This is not a hard core mystery like Michael Connelly's but all the characters were good and added to this story. This has a large cast of females who add depth to this story and will not disappoint if you like mystery/romance type listens.

Any additional comments?

Ms Burton, please continue to have Karen read your work. A reader can make or break a listen.

I enjoyed this book although I wish I'd known to listen to this one before Be Afraid (I think that's what the next one was called). I listened to them out of order but both were still good. I like that this has plot twists and some depth. The characters are interesting and make you care so the listening experience is so much more entertaining.

This book is great, written to keep interest...well up to the last two minutes. How unbelievable that someone can just find a dead prostitute just when they needed a dead body. That's the equivalent of winning the mega millions lottery three times in a row.
